Summer is too short not to celebrate and this refreshing and lively salad is surely a fine way to dine. Cauliflower is whizzed up to a couscous like texture and combined with tomatoes, avocado and red onion. This lovely combination is then dressed up with a lime, olive oil, honey and cumin vinaigrette and garnished with fresh cilantro. Not only is this salad good for you, it's also easy to make.

My contribution this month is inspired by my love of blueberries. Sweet and vibrant local blueberries feature in a savory salad with creamy and tangy goat cheese, crunchy walnuts, crisp salad greens and earthy and succulent mushrooms. I dressed up all of these stunning flavors with a lively balsamic vinaigrette for an ideal summer meal.

A spicy legume dish never fails to stimulate my appetite and this zesty salad is just the thing to satisfy a craving. Black beans are featured along with a multitude of veggies that can be interchanged to suit your preference. Manpreet used celery, red and green cabbage, cucumber, tomato, potato, carrots, peppers and dark green leafy vegetables for her salad that she dressed with lemon juice, olive oil and chaat masala. The goodness of legumes and vegetables certainly shine here in all their glory.

Salads are a favorite for summer meals, but soups and stews are still in order, especially here in Canada right now as it is unseasonably cool. Black beans star in this Brazilian / Afro inspired stew along with onion, garlic, tomatoes, bell pepper and allspice. This hearty dish is then garnished with cider vinegar dipped seitan coated in cornmeal alongside lemon cream with parsley. Certainly a nourishing and fulfilling meal to be enjoyed anytime of year.

One of the delights of summer salads is locally grown tomatoes and Laura dressed them up with a Greek inspired dressing that she says reminds her very much of Caesar dressing. I happen to be an ardent fan of feta and incorporating it into a creamy dressing is certainly appealing. Any number of vegetables can be dressed up with lemon, yogurt, feta and fresh herbs, but here tomatoes and red onion get the royal treatment. Just thinking of the possibilities makes me hungry.

Coconut Chili Relish paired with leftover bulgar, broad beans and roasted carrots and peppers? I'm on board. This Sri Lankan inspired condiment made up of coconut, chilies, onion, coriander and fresh lemon juice adds a nice sweet and spicy savory touch to the salad that clearly ought to be served up for a refreshing boost to the palate and body.

Gazpacho is indeed glorious, especially when you treat it much like a salad, with little fuss, and whiz everything up in a food processor. Having fresh herbs on hand, I adore the combination of combination of mint and basil combined with tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions, garlic and lemon juice. Gorgeous, even when it is cool outside.

An intense soup is sure to stimulate appetites. My partner in arms for NCR whizzed up this luscious and creamy creation and it's raw too. Tomatoes, celery, some sweetness, fresh coriander, veggie stock and seasoning come together in little time at all for a most nourishing meal. Quick meals never need to be boring.
